Well, nothing bad to say about this episode. The TC was good, Ash FINALLY has his new Pokemon, and TR makes more jokes about their run-out usefulness. By far the only bad part was Jessie not refering to Mirror Coat by name, but I guess bad experiences in the past lead to that.

If they got the Trainer's Choice wrong today, I would've LMAO. This had t be the easiest one yet.

I loved May's attack on TR, and their stung reactions ^_^

At least Snorunt didn't just join Ash. He actually had to fight it to get it, which is how it should always be.

I can see how Ash and Snorunt developed that bond. There was some rather poignant moments in this episode.

Nurse Joy's voice.....was really off in this episode. I dunno if I'm just noticing it for the first time, or if it was actually messed up in this episode, but whatever the case, it's different than what I remembered.

OMG, the Snorunt vs. Pikachu battle in the end was excellent =D

Oh yeah, and the new Mirror Coat owns. So much cooler than Wobbuffet's old one(not that the old one was bad, just that this one is better).

Overall rating:
8.7 out of 10
Pretty good capture episode. Snorunt has a great personality, and I'm glad that, of all Pok&#233;mon, it got to be Ash's newest Team Member.

I liked the episode, I have been wanting to see Ash capture Snorunt for a while now. I didn't like how Ash sang the title since it made it feel too much like a Christmas episode, and it's already way past Christmas. Chimecho in a Santa Hat was cool, and also Wobbuffet in earmuffs. I liked Snorunt's voice, it grew on me from the beginning of the episode.

The title reading made me LOL. XP
At first, I didn't like Snorunt's voice, but after a few mintues, I liked it. It just wasn't what I expected, but meh, it's not bad.
Icy Wind doesn't freeze, but it didn't make any bad impression on me. Since this isn't the game, we shouldn't be so hard on what they do. Oh well.
Ash caught Snorunt - that's great! ^^ I love Snorunt and can't wait to see it a lot more. ^^

Icy Wind does freeze. You just saw it do so in the episode! Okay, it's not a chunk of ice like we're used to, but that's part of its charm. As I'm sure you are aware of, Icy Wind slows down opponent's Speed. This is a fantastic way to 'slow' them down by having a coat of ice chill the target over.

But here's the interesting thing. In future episodes, Snorunt's Icy Wind DOES manage to freeze opponents! I'm talkin' full blown ice chunck style, like from Ice Beam and Blizzard. So... it's a matter of original artistic error. Their minds can't be made up. So in essence, 4Kids! can't be wrong nor can they be right.

If you wanted a more game-related relationship (and I don't blame you for wanting so), the fault really falls back to homebase.

Nurse Joy's voice.....was really off in this episode. I dunno if I'm just noticing it for the first time, or if it was actually messed up in this episode, but whatever the case, it's different than what I remembered.

As I'm sure most people will have pointed out before me due to my slow typing of this post, Joy has a new voice and has had one for quite some time. It's not a perfect replica but it is all we have and I'd say she does a fine job.

And so Ash finally completes his Hoenn roster. It's amazing that it took all the way till late Hoenn to finally have a full team of 6. Snorunt is a wonderful addition however, and provides to be quite a powerful asset later on.

And yay for Ash being aggressive again. He sounded pissed off throughout most of the episode, which I'm happy about. He still has his naive "Let's make friends" side to him that was more prevalent back in Kanto and the Orange Islands, but now he's a lot less forgiving and a lot more aggressive.

Now you KNOW that changes at the drop of a hat! =P

When was the last time before this episode that we had snow on the ground?

Yip! The world's top most famous quotes:
1.''Last one there's a rotton Exeggcute!'' by Ash/Satoshi
2.''Se ya later, Feraligatr!'' by Team Rocket.

How did you see the bond? Although Ash seemed really nice and forgiving(sp?), Snorunt seemed really annoying. Ash sometimes has the weirdo personality for choosing his bonds.

1 Shot question - I know Picachu and friends always blast Team Rocket out into the sky, but why would they do it to them for just eating food? It's nothing that they couldn't work for, but I'm starting to wonder it Ash enjoys making them feel pain. Yep, it's been that way for, what, over 500+ episodes? Quote me on that later ~ .

Yeah, I was kind of glad. And you know at the end of the ep. he through Snorunt? If he hadn't made the bond, I betcha he would have thrown Snorunt down the 40+ feet . ~Don't quote me on that.

I thought this episode was good. I thought Snorunt was cute. There were 4 funny parts in this episode.
1. When May told TR that no one likes them and they get all depressed
2. When Snorunt starts freezing everybody
3. Torkoal crying when Snorunt is introduced to everyone's pokemon
4. When Snorunt goes to save Pikachu from TR and starts freezing up them and their entire balloon
I was only a little disappointed that TR never had a boss fantasy for Snorunt (seeing in as how they have a boss fantasy for every new pokemon they see).

Aside from the title screen this was a great episode dubbed. Snorunt's voice wasn't what I excpected but it was still all good. The mink reference in the motto was funny as 4Kids goofed and made reference to non Pokemon animals. All in all, a fine episode and the dub was just as good.

Some people don't think it's funny that Exit 69 gets off on Big Beaver.

This episode was great. As funny and good as I remember. Although May's definition of cute is pretty wide apparently. Snorunt's voice is good. The way the pronounce Snorunts name was different than I pronounce it but, that happens a couple times like rayquaza. Anyway fun episode and if I recall snorunt is going to be a fun guy in the upcoming filler.

-Ash...singing..the..title!
-Snorunt just playing. Blah, blah, blah.
-Ash's badges are stolen, again. What is this, the 10th time.
-Ash sounded so ticked off.
-I liked how it tossed up a badge and froze it with Icy Wind.
-I liked how they were looking for Snorunt, and found Team Rocket.
-Team Rocket got frozen, shweet.
-Snorunt has a caring side, awww.
-They got Trainer's Choice RIGHT!
-Snorunt was smart taking Ash's hat and finding the group.
-Come on, a touching moment, yet again, getting screwed up by Team Rocket.
-James: Make it double 'cause I'm wearing mink.
-James: They were guaranteed to never fade.
Meowth: And they did keep their color quite nicely.
-May: Well that explains why everyone hates you three.
-Nurse Joy just happens to know a shortcut.
-What were the snowmobiles modeled after?
-Ash caught a Snorunt! Finally!
Good eppy, all in all.

I had to laugh at Ash singing the name of the title. Haha! But as for the rest of the episode, it was an okay episode. Nothing more. Although I have to say, that Snorunt is a cuttie but such a little pain-in-the-neck.
